For the 2nd year in a row, I made it up to the Sabres Car Club’s Tri- State Auto Exhibition in Denver, CO. Here are some of our favorite cars from the show this year. There’s a ton more than what you see here, all kinds of cars for all kinds of car folks!
At this point, I’ve lost track of how many times I’ve been to Tulsa for the Starbird Rod & Custom Show. It’s become automatic for me. Somehow in that automatic mode, I neglected to make a post here to share the video that I shot at the show!
For the last 40 years, each January I’ve headed to Wichita for what was previously the Starbird Rod & Custom Show and is now the Cars For Charities Rod & Custom show at Century II and Expo Hall.
The show has gone through a ton of changes over the years, this year the show changed to Saturday and Sunday only, and they no longer offered the Magnificent 7 Award.
Well, this is it. This is the last car show… of the year. Next week is Thanksgiving and the week after that is my Decembrrrr Run, and that’s it for car events for the year for us. The Hobo Happenings show is a great small town show that has some tremendous cars show up at it, more cool traditional hot rods and customs than most small town shows see, AND they serve ham & beans and out of a huge 35 gallon pot to all of the participants!
This year there were about 240 cars in attendance, I guess the perfect weather really helped! I hope you enjoy the coverage of the show and please consider buying a Royboy Calendar or shirt to help us get back out of the hole for the year and have a little cash ready to start next year!.
See you at a show,

The folks in the Chupacabras Car Club have been putting on the Pistons & Paint show in Denton, Tx for 21 years now, and I’ve been lucky enough to attend for the last few years. This year I decided to go on the cheap, in the daily and making the 660 mile round trip in 1 day, leaving at 6:30 am and getting home a little after 9pm.
Thanks to all the folks in the club that put the show on and give me a reason to head to north Texas to see a bunch of the hot rod family that I don’t get to see very often.
Here’s the video of the event coverage, I hope you enjoy it!

There’s not much that I can say about the Gathering At The Roc that doesn’t make me sound like they are a paying sponsor of my site. Truth is, they aren’t and I just love the show THAT much.
The 2023 Spam Drags went down August 19, 2023 at Mo-Kan Dragway outside Asbury, MO. For years the Jaolpyjournal.com HAMB Drags happened at the track, when that that event ended, some folks decided to continue an similar event, hence calling it the Spam drags.
Wow, it’s been a heck of a month so far. The summer has been great too! It hasn’t been too hot or anything… until the week of the KKOA Leadsled Spectacular. The average 85 degrees days shot up to well over 100 just in time for all of the kool rides and people to come to town. We had a blast despite the heat and made a video of some of what we saw!
First off, sorry for being so tardy with this one! There’s a lot going on in Royboy-land these days and I just got behind. Another amazing Stray Kat 500 is in the books and now we only have 51 weeks to wait until we get to do it again!
It’s been 4 years since I last made the trek to the Lonestar Round Up, I didn’t realize until I got to the show how much I’d missed it. My buddy Cody and I hopped in the daily driver and headed out Thursday evening to try to get past Fort Worth to avoid morning traffic, rolling in to our hotel a little after midnight.
A few years ago Jason Smith from Hot Rod Garage in Sand Springs, OK was telling me his idea for a killer car show, now in 2022 we’ve seen the show for the last three years and it’s even better than his vision. So far I have made it to all three years of the Gathering At The Roc held at Wooleroc Museum outside of Bartlesville, OK and I don’t plan on ever missing one!
Each year the weekend after Labor Day means only one thing for me, it’s time to head to Dewey, OK for the Stray Kat Kustoms : Lead Ain’t Dead show. Mickey and crew put on two of my favorite shows each year, the Stray Kat 500 which happens on the first full weekend each May and the Lead Ain’t Dead show.
This year the KKOA Leadsled Spectacular was a bit odd compared to what most people expect of the show, it was only in the upper 70’s or lower 80’s for most of the weekend! What a fantastic weekend we had in Salina, KS for the show. Friends were in town from all over the country and it was great to see so many folks and so many cool cars.
For 9 out of the last 10 years some of the coolest customs in the world have gathered in Indianapolis, IN for the Custom Car Revival. I’ve been lucky enough to attend a few of them, and I decided last year that I was NOT going to miss the 2022 event! Continue reading “2022 Custom Car Revival Coverage!”
I wasn’t able to take my ride this year but there was no way that I was missing the Stray Kat 500. The show goes down the first full weekend each May in Dewey, OK, and it’s become one of my can’t miss events. You’ll see everything from patina hot rods to Ridler winners at this show (this year was the first time a Ridler winner showed up 🙂 ) and it’s all about a laid back good time with great people who own cool cars.
If you’re tired of going and sitting at a car show, try a Rumble! Challenge another group of car buddies from another city to meet you at a town halfway in between, whichever city brings the most rides wins!
First off… I screwed up. I posted the video from this event and completely neglected to get the photos up! So here’s a post to fix that error.
For those that don’t know the story, in 2020 at the Flaming Gorge Resort Independence Day car show, Mayor Woody told us of a great idea. What if we got a 3 day weekend in the winter, when there’s snow on the ground and bring a bunch of hot rods out to have some fun?
I wasn’t sure this one was gonna happen for me. The forecast for the two weeks above the show was gloomy. It just wouldn’t clear up! Then on the Thursday before the show an ice storm covered most of Oklahoma and North Texas while it dumped snow on me in Kansas. It was not looking good for leaving Thursday after work so that I could get to the Reliability Run on Friday.
I can’t count the number of years that I’ve been attending the Starbird Rod & Custom Show in Tulsa, OK. I go back year after year to see all of the friends that I have in the Tulsa area and beyond that all come to this show.
There was a great turnout this year for the Hobo Happenings in Douglass, KS! Over 200 cars gathered on the last Saturday before Thanksgiving for a good time on a beautiful November day. See the video below for Royboy’s Coverage.
